difference between euryhaline and stenohaline

Dear student,
Euryhaline organisms are those  that are capable of surviving a wide range of salt concentrations. Therefore, these organisms are naturally adapted to live in salt water, brackish water and freshwater environments.
eg:-sea grass,lamprey etc..

Stenohaline organisms are those  that are capable of tolerating the change in saline conditions at a limited or a narrow range. They do not survive in environmental conditions where the saline concentration rapidly changes.
​​​​​eg:-Goldfish
